Am I the only one disappointed by Github copilot quality lately? I get much better responses by copying and pasting on ChatGPT, rather than the suggestions in the vscode plugin.


I'm pretty sure they toggle between gpt 3 and 4 depending on how much traffic they're getting in order to make sure they can meet all suggestions.


the machines were not supposed to get tired


People have been anecdotally reporting and investigating similar problems since at least last year[0], and it's entirely possible that changes to improve one aspect of a model could make it much worse at other aspects without careful regression testing and gradual rollout. I think models intended to solve every problem make it very hard to guarantee they can solve any particular problem reliably over time.

Imagine if a million developers simultaneously got much worse at their jobs!
